A day has passed since she'd returned from her trek to the edge of Wind Country, and she was already starting to get antsy again ( Read more... )

Well if this wasn't a fine situation she found herself in. Kureno was definitately going to get some ass-kicking once he's out of the hospital, oh yes. Not only did he rope her into this whole seal business, but now she'd have to work with quite possibly the last person she ever wanted to work with again.
